Kingdonella qinghaiensis Zheng, 1990 Fig. 3 Examined material. China • 4 ♂; Qinghai, Zhiduo; 33.76 ° N, 95.12 ° E, 19. VIII. 2008; coll. Xinjiang Li, Jiantao Xiao, Yongchao Zhi; Catalogue number: # 080819173 — # 080819177. (first report of male) Diagnosis. The male Kingdonella qinghaiensis resembles K. parvula Yin, 1984. The main differences are listed in Table 5. Redescription. Male: body small size (Fig. 3 A, B). Head shorter than pronotum, with frons slightly oblique in profile. Frontal costa slightly shrunken in front of median ocellus. Eyes nearly elliptical, vertical diameter 1.2 times that of transverse diameter and subocular furrow length. Antennae filiform, 22–23 segments, longer than head and pronotum combined, length of a middle segment (12 th segment) 1.5 times its width. Pronotum rough, slightly depressed medially on the anterior and posterior margins. Median carina distinct, lateral carinae nearly absent in metazona, lateral carinae cut by all transverse sulci and median carina cut by last transverse sulci; prozona 2.1 times longer than metazona. Prosternal process conical and blunt at apex. Width of mesothernal lobes 2.0 times the length (Fig. 3 C). Width of mesothernal interspace 2.0 times length. Tegmina and wings absent. Upper median carina of hind femur smooth. Hind tibia with nine spines on inner and eight spines on outer sides; external apical spine absent. Arolium between claws large, nearly reaching apex. Posterior margin of 10 th abdominal tergite with distinct furcula (Fig. 3 D). Tympanal organ absent. Epiproct of male with larger denticles on middle of both sides; basally, denticles width nearly equal to half of length between denticles base, bluntly rounded at apex. Subgenital plate long and slightly sharp at apex (Fig. 3 D). In phallic complex, length of the apical valves of penis slightly exceeds that of cingulum valves; apodemes longer than basal valves of penis, terminating in sword-like ends. The lateral view of the basal valves of the penis reveals a reniform shape and distal apodemes (Fig. 4 M – O). Bridge of epiproct straight, wide, and short; ancorae angular, curving inward, with sharp tips; anterior projections not extending beyond length of ancorae; lateral plates incline outwards, and posterior projections extending outward. Lophi large and flaky, extending towards medial sides, protruding noticeably in overall plane. In dorsal view, inner length of the lophi longer than outer length, with evident tumor protrusions along edge (Fig. 4 P – R). Coloration. Body reddish-brown. Area behind the eyes with a black band. Antennae brown, apex black. Lateral lobes of pronotum with a black spot in center; remaining brown. Outer side of hind femur with a long dark spot, inner side base red, remaining black. Median and apical 3 / 4 of hind femur dorsal face with dark spot; ventral face of hind femur red on inner and black on outer side. Hind tibia purple above and dark brown below (Fig. 3 E). All tarsi yellow. Measurements. Shown in Table 6. Distribution.
